What good things has Metallica done?

Metallica is one of the most influential and successful metal bands of all time. They have sold over 125 million albums worldwide, won nine Grammy Awards, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009.

But beyond their musical achievements, Metallica has also done many good things for various causes and communities. Here are some examples:

In 2017, Metallica launched the All Within My Hands Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports workforce education, hunger relief, and critical local services. The foundation has donated millions of dollars to various charities, including Feeding America, American Red Cross, and Direct Relief.

In 2019, Metallica joined forces with other artists to perform at the WorldWired Tour, a concert series that raised funds for local organizations in each city they visited. The tour generated over $1.6 million for 24 different charities, such as food banks, homeless shelters, and youth programs.

In 2020, Metallica participated in the PlayOn Fest, a virtual music festival that streamed performances from past concerts to support the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization. The festival raised over $4.2 million for the global health crisis.

In 2021, Metallica released The Metallica Blacklist, a tribute album that featured 53 artists covering songs from their self-titled 1991 album. The album’s proceeds were split between the All Within My Hands Foundation and a charity of each artist’s choice.

These are just some of the good things that Metallica has done over the years. They have shown that they are not only a legendary band, but also a generous and compassionate one.
